Editorial Review: Amazon.com: This is an impressive-looking version of Lewis Carroll's story originally produced for NBC-TV. Dreading a singing recital at her parents' lavish home, Alice falls into a strange world in pursuit of a large White Rabbit. The talented child actor Tina Majorino (Corrina, Corrina) plays Alice with all the good graces but mostly wanders through the story unquestioningly. Carroll's tale of whimsical, illogical adventures is a field day for designers Roger Hall and Alan Tomkins, costumer Charles Knode, Jim Henson's Creature Shop, and director Nick Willing (Photographing Fairies. Influenced by Time Bandits and Labyrinth (the latter also designed by the Henson company), the film has a splendid array of effects, many dealing with multiple perspectives as Alice constantly changes sizes. The highlight is Whoopi Goldberg as the Cheshire Cat, a seamless mix of cat and comic. Martin Short as the Hatter and Mirandra Richardson as the Queen of Hearts seem to be having the times of their lives. This is not the definitive version of Carroll's tale, and, like the popular Disney animated version, combines some elements of Carroll's sequel, Through the Looking Glass. It is perhaps better viewing for the fan that has seen another version of the tale or read the book. --Doug Thomas Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Great movie for childrenThis moving is well portrayed by all characters. It is ideal for children of all ages. Alice in wonderland is a strange adventure and all actors gave a great performance and kept the movie flowing at a fast rate. Rating:  - Very Satisfied with Purchase COmpletely satisfied with purchase of the Movie "ALice In WOnderland" on VHS.The transaction was completed smoothly and received my order quickly and efficiently.Very satisifed! Rating:  - The film makers did not understand Lewis Carroll or his fansFrom a special effects standpoint, this is the best rendition I've seen. From every other standpoint, it's the worst. I barely made it through the whole movie. Far too much of Lewis Carroll's dialog was changed to "Americanize" it, and the beautiful, nonsensical dialog was what made the book. It was a mixture of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. There was plenty of wonderful content in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland to make a whole movie, so I'm not sure ... Read More Rating: - VERY INTERSTING INTERPRETATIONBEAUTIFUL COLOR. SOME DIALOG A BIT TOO LONG TO HOLD INTEREST OF YOUNG CHILD. PLEASED WITH SERVER. Rating:  - bLECHThis is one of the worst 'Alice' adaptations yet. Not only has it been overtly Americanized (aka dumbed down) but it pays absolutely no respect to the Lewis Carroll text. An 'Alice' afficionado, I like the 1968 BBC version with music by Ravi Shankar. It's thrilling, dreamy, and terribly clever and original. Browse for similar items by category:
